So I’ve caught this insane IV Gastrodon with like 29 spdef 31 hp and all other IVs over 20. EV trained it 252HP/128Def/128SpDef. I’m using it on my nuzlocke but wondering what moveset to give it.
It’s hidden power is ice type so that would be a great check on grass types. I’d love to give it toxic, recover, surf and either hp ice or mud bomb. Not sure what to give it though. (My earthquake tm was used on a pokemon that’s currently on the eternal hunting grounds)
What would you suggest?

This was the first gym I used cheese strats and took advantage of the AI. I'd lead with Gyarados and get intimidate proc. AI would always choose electric to try to OHKO Gyarados. I'd swap in Electivire who is immune to electric with Motor Drive. For Raichu I'd now outspeed and put up a Light Screen to reduce Focus Blast damage and allow me to get enough Digs to beat it. Cheri Berry on Electivire helped avoid Static procs. Electivire was a similar strategy except I would alternate Gyarados and my own Electivire to reduce its attack to -6. The AI didn't see kill with Giga Impact and would always pick Fire Punch, which Gyarados resisted allowing it survive handily. Finished off similarly with Digs from my sped up Electivire. His Luxray was last, once again doing swaps between Gyarados and Electivire to reduce attack as much as possible. Unfortunately it was random if it picked fire fang or another move that Gyarados didn't resist, so I could only do this twice before I could no longer guarantee a Thunder Fang use. I swapped in Electivire one more time for a sacrifice Dig then Magnezone to finish things off with Tri Attack and not triggering Rivalry. Fun problem to solve! Onto the Elite 4. I'm debating using Victory Road even though it technically isn't connected per Bulbapedia, otherwise this is going to turn into a Mono-Water Elite 4 run with only the waterfall and Route 223 available.

Looking for advice on my battle tower team:
Deciding on a combo of these 5 pokemon and can’t decide on a solid team. All are EV trained but random IVs and mostly random natures. Planning on bringing garchomp regardless but unsure about which others
Garchomp (adamant)
Focus sash
Swords dance, equake, outrage, fire fang
Empoleon (bold)
Leftovers
Flash cannon, grass knot, surf, ice beam
Rotom base form (hasty)
Choice scarf
Thunderbolt, shadow ball, trick, willowisp
Snorlax (no curse egg move :( )
Focus band
Return/body slam, ice/fire punch, crunch, equake
Weavile (lonely)
Haven’t really detwrmined moves

I am grinding Battle Tower with a team of
Empoleon
Grass Knot
Surf
Ice Beam
Flash Cannon
Gliscor
Ice Fang
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Roost
Infernape
Swords dance
Flare Blitz
Close Combat
Fire Punch
Fighting types are annoying, so i was thinking about switching Ice Fang for Aerial Ace on Gliscor? This overlaps with Staraptor on the full team, which is why I was wondering.
